This meal is tasty as it is, but for an added punch add shredded rotisserie chicken.
 
Ingredients:
8 oz high fiber or low carb pasta

6-8 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt and fresh pepper
1/4 cup fresh grated Pecorino Romano

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 450°. In a baking dish combine broccoli, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Roast broccoli about 20 minutes, tossing half way, until broccoli is browned and tender.
